If you are looking to buy a Volkswagen as your next car, you should take a good look at the Passat. This car is very popular, and with good reason; it offers everything a car should, along with the extra class that is a hallmark of the Volkswagen brand.
Safety is the primary concern for many automobile owners, and it is a good way to narrow down the field when considering which car to buy. The Passat answers all common safety concerns, with great crash test rankings.
Volkswagen cars are known for their style, and the Passat does not disappoint in this regard. It has a nice-looking, sleek exterior, and a two-piece grille in the front. Inside is where the car really shines, though.
The interior is known for its comfort. Driving for long periods of time can get tiresome, but with a Passat, you will be comfortable the whole way to your destination. The driver’s controls are placed in a simple configuration that lends to a smooth driving experience. While the inside may leave some people less than blown away, the sophisticated car buyer will appreciate the elegance and luxury.
The number of adults who can ride in a Passat will depend on personal preference. Some sources say that four tall people can ride in comfort, while other sources bump this number to five. Most reviewers comment on the comparatively large space given to backseat passengers. The middle back seat is usually most comfortable for children, as three adults across can be a bit too close to make for an enjoyable ride.
The front seat is known for its ample amount of legroom, if you can overlook the fact that the console can sometimes crowd the knee of the driver. If you are a front seat rider, you get the most perks of all: a seat that can adjusted in eight different directions, yet remains firm. Seating really is the star of the show as far as the Volkswagen Passat is concerned.
You will find the interior decorated very nicely in leatherette trim, not cloth. You can even get seats upholstered completely in leather if you buy a VR6 of Luxury model. The instruments are easily read and have an exciting look about them. Your average Volkswagen Passat will come with an AM/FM radio, a CD player for one disc, an MP3 player, and 8 speakers.
If you opt for a Lux of Komfort model, you get all of this with the exception that the CD player can hold 6 CD’s. You will also receive a free three-month trial of Sirius satellite radio. There is no obligation to subscribe at the end of your trial, so you can either enjoy it for a short time or renew.
A VR6 has the best sound system of all: the Dynaudio system with 10 speakers and a Digital Sound Processor. This system is the ultimate in listening pleasure. If you are a big radio buff or want the best in audio equipment, this is the car to consider.
